I don't mean to sound wanky or anything, but I'm starting to get sick of women being graphically murdered on Supernatural. The show just wasn't this violent in the first and second seasons. Sure, there was blood, but the dude from "Home" getting his hand getting stuck in the garbage disposal was horror movie corny violence; a close-up a teenage girl being drowned in a toilet? It feels different, and I don't like it.

That said, "Criss Angel is a Douchebag" and "After School Special" were better episodes than I've seen in a while.

It has good points! A lot of good points. It's just, ah, not the most female friendly show on the air right now.

That's what I've gathered from other people! Which is sad because I saw one episode in the first (second?) season, the only one I saw, and I thought the middle-aged woman character seemed cool!

Her name was Ellen! Yes, she was cool. She was the only woman who was cool, didn't die horribly, and lasted for more than an episode. The fangirls didn't even want her driven off the show! But there was some drama with the actress and now she's gone for good.

Jo was cool after they accepted she was going to have a little sister dynamic.

I think her fate had already been sealed, though, since when they started writing her like that is also when they made her start being pissed at the Winchesters for something John did and leaving her mother and never really showing up in the show again, except to be tortured by Meg a little bit.

I WAS SO MAD ABOUT THAT. They had a cool thing.

I think it's trendy to like her, now! At least, my glances at

fandomsecrets leads me to believe that. Nevermind that everyone fucking hated her when she was actually on the show, nowadays it's all, "I liked her so much! And then she got replaced with those bitches Bela and Ruby."

I LIKED HER AND I LIKED BELA AND RUBY AND I LIKED ELLEN AND I THINK IF THEY'D ALL JUST GO BACK ON THE SHOW AT ONCE AND HAVE A TEA PARTY I'D ACTUALLY CATCH UP WITH THE SHOW AT LAST

SO THERE, FANDOM

IF JO SHOWS UP AGAIN WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN TO HER

I MEAN SERIOUSLY

I remember when that started! xD I was like, "What? When I got into this show, you all hated Jo, what the hell?"

I adore Jo D: Always have.

Heh, yeah. LOL SPN FANDOM, LOL.

I DON'T KNOW but I'm starting to prefer other shows way more, like Psych. Psych is good but it is sad that Supernatural is just not doing it for me anymore.

My mom has been reccing this to me for forever, but I only just started watching it because it's on television late at night when I'm doing homework. I DON'T LIKE THE GIRL THOUGH, her character just bothers me, I don't know why.

PSYCH WINS FOREVER. For such a dumb show, they write and play their characters remarkably consistent.

Maybe I should compare it to Heroes in terms of female unfriendliness, though!

I haven't seen Heroes, is that friendly or unfriendly or what?

Ugh, unfriendly. Most of the female characters end up getting killed or needing to be rescued. Plus there are icky race issues, too.

Part of me feels bad being all Serious Business especially since I loved the show at first and defended its second season even when there were a lot of detractors, but so much of it bugs me now that I just stopped watching. The only female character who seemed to be enjoying her powers while being a good person was written out of the show entirely, which pissed me off/

I'm starting to feel that way about Supernatural. I mean, I still enjoy watching the show, but defending it is like, so hard now. I cannot deny the fact that it has problems, and problems of the misogynistic nature are a lot harder to defend.

In distraction: Have one of my new icons.

Hee~
